I would hope they had antlers

that doesn't mean I wish that for everyone with kidney stones

What I intended to try to address is the seemingly innocuous comments that have the unintended consequence of creating anxiety or fear in someone who isn't yet completely familiar with their own condition or has recently recognized that very edema in their own ankles and are waiting to see a Dr.

I don't know why some individuals can't distinguish the specific tRump-related wishes.

I wish he'd fucking died decades ago. Doesn't mean I wish that on everyone.

yes indeed

I've never been comfortable with the armchair diagnosis approach, full stop, and I hate the way people take a ghoulish interest in Trump's conditions. The way he treats people, the Constitution, and the law is the only issue I care about.

And yes, anyone reading a thread could be under severe pressure from a recent diagnosis or a family member's condition.

I have seen swelling after injuries and illness, but THAT photo looked really uncomfortable.

...who faces any type of health issue to inform themselves on their specific health situation , and to pay no attention to any chatter about anyone else's condition.

When trump's spokesperson claimed his edema was no big deal, was 'normal', and that he is in the best of health, I immediately worried for people who might then believe that signs of their own edema is nothing to be concerned about and that they might not take the appropriate steps to care for their health.

Each individual's various health concerns are different, no one should be thinking that another person's situation is the same as theirs just because they share a similar issue, and no one should be concerned about, or pay any attention to, what anyone says about anyone else's condition. We should only care about what our doctors say about our own conditions.

Ideally that would be the case.

But I would love for him to be disabled enough to be unable to continue public speaking. I have been hoping he goes out unable to speak clearly w phycical limits as a karmic justice for mocking that disabled reporter back in 16.

is that no matter how much wealth and power he has amassed, it won't stop his body from aging and deteriorating right out from under him. Then he'll die and rot and there is nothing he can do about that. Even the kings of antiquity who tried to take it all with them couldn't escape their fate.

It's universal and vast sums of money sunk into embalming and cryo storage will only delay it a little.

hypertension, congestive heart failure, several spinal fusions, seizures and more……. It depresses me when I hear remarks about cheeto’s swelling equated with pain and death.

It’s so hard to understand why bad things happen to good people, and yet folks like dumpty can fall in crap and come out smelling like roses!
